A. To the extent that the board has not undertaken an activity or project which would be within its power under the provisions of R.S. 51:1005 of this compact, any two or more of the party states, acting by their duly constituted administrative officials, may enter into supplementary agreements for the undertaking and continuance of such an activity or project.
